1. The invasive tropical tanner grass decreases diversity of the native aquatic macrophyte community at two scales in a subtropical tidal river
ABSTRACT The tropical tanner grass, Urochloa arrecta, is one of the worst aquatic plant invaders in Brazilian freshwater ecosystems. This study aimed to compare beds of macrophytes dominated and without U. arrecta in the Guaraguaçu River, a subtropical tidal river in South Brazil, to analyze effects that this invasive grass has on the biodiversity of native

2. Anthropogenic impacts on aquatic bacteria: a perspective from the tropics
Resumo O bacterioplâncton compreende um grupo altamente diversificado de microrganismos, que são dominantes nos ecossistemas aquáticos e desempenham um papel central no funcionamento desses ecossistemas e nos ciclos biogeoquímicos. Devido às suas elevadas taxas de dispersão e de mudança na composição, bem como alta adaptabilidade e plasticidade, os

3. Effects of the introduction of an omnivorous fish on the biodiversity and functioning of an upland Amazonian lake
RESUMO A introdução de espécies não nativas é uma ameaça aos ecossistemas de água doce. Embora a onivoria e a predação intraguilda sejam comuns nesses sistemas, os efeitos da introdução de peixes onívoros nas comunidades pelágicas e litorâneas é pouco conhecido. Nós testamos as previsões da teoria da teia trófica considerando os efeitos da

5. Forecasting the impact of an invasive macrophyte species in the littoral zone through aquatic insect species composition
ABSTRACT Invasive macrophytes threaten freshwater ecosystem biodiversity. We analyzed the impact of the invasive white ginger lily (Hedychium coronarium J. König, Zingiberaceae) on aquatic insect assemblages living in the littoral zone of a tropical reservoir. We took aquatic insect samples in the littoral zone on four main vegetal profile banks: white ging

6. A Bayesian analysis of the parasitic ecology in Jenynsia multidentata(Pisces: Anablepidae)
ABSTRACT Jenynsia multidentata Jenyns, 1842 (one-sided livebearers) are euryhaline viviparous fish of small size, used in the laboratory experiment, important as resource for biological control of mosquito’s larva and a key species to recover eutrophic lakes. Works have been published dealing with parasite biodiversity of this host, but little has been stu

7. Red swamp crayfish: biology, ecology and invasion - an overview
ABSTRACTAlien species have been transported and traded by humans for many centuries. However, with the era of globalization, biological invasions have reached notable magnitudes. Currently, introduction of alien species is one of the major threats to biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. The North American crayfish Procambarus clarkii is one of the most wi

8. A malacological survey in the Manso Power Plant, State of Mato Grosso, Brazil: new records of freshwater snails, including transmitters of schistosomiasis and exotic species
Introduction Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease of public health concern in Brazil, and the construction of hydroelectric dams, in addition to increasing permanent human settlement and tourism, has created conditions suitable for the establishment of mollusks that can transmit schistosomiasis. Such areas require a number of actions to prevent the establ

9. A new species of freshwater amphipod (Dogielinotidae, Hyalella) from Southeastern Brazil
To the present 57 species of Hyalella were described for Americas, 15 of them found in Brazil, which is among the most diverse countries for this genus. This work aims to describe a new Hyalella species with benthic habits which is found in a water source on Southeastern Brazil. It is mainly characterized by a wide truncated process formed near the dactylus

10. Caracterização da aquicultura ornamental na Zona da Mata Mineira
Globalization has brought changes in ornamental fish trade as well as an increase in market opportunities. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations the average growth of international trade in ornamental fish has been 14% per year since 1985. Brazil is one of the leading exporters of ornamental fish, not in terms of quantity a

11. Variação espacial e temporal da diversidade e biomassa da comunidade zooplanctônica do reservatório da UHE de Furnas-MG, Brasil
O reservatório da UHE de Furnas está situado em Minas Gerais e foi construído em 1963 para produção de energia elétrica, porém atualmente é utilizado para múltiplos fins. A comunidade zooplanctônica em águas doces é composta por um conjunto de organismos pertencentes a diversos grupos taxonômicos (Cladocera, Copepoda, Rotifera, Protozoa, larvas

12. Implantação da piscicultura familiar com pescadores e agricultores assentados no Município de Lucena-PB
Fishing is a very important activity for the provision of protein, but as a result of the heavy pressure from extractive fishing and above the limits of carrying capacity of populations of commercial species, many stocks are at or above the limit of exploration, which has resulted in decreased populations of many animals, including driving some to extinction
